Very quiet here in my little studio room, all my family are away and I
am trying to get to the bottom of a large pile of paper work while
watching re-runs of one of my favourite shows Anne Of Green Gables.... Was so
excited today because I received some postcards and little tags for my
packaging that I produced using some of my own photography and they come
up oh so pretty...Still a dream of mine to produce my own stationary
line....journals, cards, papers etc....one day... These photos are of
my studio room today, reasonably clean and organised.... I love this
space :)

I have been busy using up some small pieces of fabric and making hand sewn little yo-yo's out of them I plan to sew them all together and make a tablecloth or coverlet, they are fun to do and can be made into so many great ideas. In my studio I have been busy doing a few projects, some custom photo charms for Wedding Bouquets and Birthday gifts and a little bit of drawing and painting, in some Jane Eyre themes so watch for some new work to be listed. I am working on some sketching and ideas for a little sewing booklet and will share so pictures with you as I progress. Happy Spring.

To share with you, one of my little Very sweet Sugarplum Dancer Shadowbox Theater, made with vintage woodcuts from the 18th century and housed in a gilded 4 inch by 4 inch box with lid, hung from a silk ribbon, I have this theater shown with a little battery operated tealight in side which you can add your own for a magical effect. I have had many compliments on this piece in my home so I will continue to offer this design for purchase. in my little paper shop Victorianwoodlands. Makes for a sweet keepsake gift for any occasion.

I have been watching lately the Edible Garden, which is truly one of my favorite garden shows. Alys Fowler made some delicious looking lavender biscuits. of course i had to find the recipe and found it from here. I made a small patch first and added just small amount of dried lavender, since years and years ago i made lavender biscuits with another recipe and I could not eat them. Well, i must show these biscuits to you and made a little woodland tea party of it...

i am just dreaming what kind of cookies i will bake with this recipe next time.chocolate, ginger, raspberry, honey, lemon...

Artist Statement

My artwork is reminiscent of illustrations from a Victorian children's book, and 18 & 19 th century woodcut images also called catchpenny prints in early England times. Inspired by clothes from a time long past, cabinet card photos, lockets, journals and lace pieces, forgottenin an old steamer trunk from an antique shop, a world different from our own.Old walled gardens with pathways of cobbled stones covered in moss and ivy, birds and nests found on walks, rocks and shells found near the water's edge, birdsong in the evening and twilight.

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,There is a rapture on the lonely shore,There is society, where none intrudes,By the deep sea, and music in its roar:I love not man the less, but Nature more.~George Gordon, Lord Byron,
